Im in japan right now on this visa actually. I applied without a COE and had to wait about 6 weeks for the approval. Overall process was kind of annoying but not that bad. Only went for the visa because I work for a more traditional company and wanted everything above board.
@GabrielOstrad They said it could take up to 2 months without a COE and recommended I get one, but I didn't have an easy way to acquire one at the time.
Thank you for speaking about this topic. It really isn't a attractive visa to me but I can see how it can be attractive for people who like changing their base regularly. For now the only real option seems to be the business manager visa but that's a whole different level of commitment... 😅
Worst Visa ever ... I really don't understand why they made it that bad .... I could just stay 6 month on a Tourist Visa also the required amount of money you need to earn is just insane -.-V there might be some countries where its doable but in my country if you earned more than 70k dollar a year you'd already be in the top 10% ... even while I was working for a Bank in the IT in my Country I only earned about 50k a year and I was already earning very good.
Well presented. Thanks.
I appreciate it ✊🏻

Interesting! I wonder if it took so long because of the lack of COE? Or did they not even ask you to provide one?

@chickenrer glad it worked out 👍🏻
Very good vid!! Very informative! I believe that at this point is a nonsense visa… 6 months tourist visa it’s easier to get
Yes, the requirements seem a bit steep for such limited benefits.

Have you watched the video I made about the Business Manager Visa? Might be worth checking out 🤓 Best of luck!
@@GabrielOstrad Yes I have, thank you for making it! It looks like that will be the path my wife and I will try to take next year.
Sounds like a great path ✊🏻 Good luck!
All these hurdles for just 6 months stay. No. Thank you
Lol I get it.

It seems the government just forgot about making it an appealing option 😅
